Lamplighter League Characters (Initial 10) and Character Classes

[Prussian Havoc]

The website AltChar provided the following information at:https://www.altchar.com/game-news/t...st-of-characters-revealed-so-far-agYWe3o5tsyi​

Bruisers​

During the infiltration phase, Bruisers can knock down frail walls and some locked doors. They can also take down multiple enemies if they are positioned high enough.

Bruiser characters include:

• Ingrid (Weighted Gloves) - Gains AP on kills, causes AoE knockdown
• Fedir (Shotgun) - Gets enraged when hit, dealing more damage. Can throw enemies as weapons
• Judith (Machine Pistol and Shield) - Starts fights with bonus armour, immune to Overwatch damage. Can taunt enemies in AoE

Sneaks​

Sneaks can cloak themselves when in cover during the infiltration phase, climb walls and take enemies down silently.

Sneak characters include:

• Lateef (Pistol) - Gains Evade after movement, creates Decoys
• Celestine (Assassin's Daggers) - Recharges Signature ability on kills, which is to take control of enemies
• Jianyi (Sword and Pistol) - Pistol attacks give Flow which increases crit chance of the sword. Gains one AP per crit. Can dash through enemies, dealing more damage with more Flow stacks
• Purnima (Bolt-Action Rifle) - Gains Crit chance on high ground, can shoot through multiple targets and ricochet around corners

​

Saboteurs​

characters include:

• Eddie (Twin Six-Shooters) - Gains Ammo on critical hits, does cone-shaped AoE
• Ana Sofia (Submachine Gun) - Allies healed by her gain 25 per cent more HP, Signature heals all allies in AoE and gives them one Signature charge
• Alexandrite (Practitioner's Cane) - Gains Invisibility when hit, summons Phantasms as allies

I particularly like the Judith/Celestine/Ana Sofia combination, powers and synergies! Immunity to overwatch, taking control of enemies and healing expertise… yeah, I can’t wait to see what such a combo can do! : )

Are the teams always limited to three or you can increase them during the campaign?
I wonder what a team like Ingrid/Fedir/Judith would look like.

Do not go gentle into that good fight,
Old scars should burn and rave at close of fray;
Rage, rage against the dying of the lamplight.

…I wonder what a team like Ingrid/Fedir/Judith would look like…

All three of the Bruiser Class Characters?

Wow! That sacrifices the finesse and nuance of the Sneaks and Saboteurs while tripling down on the damage dealing lethality of the Bruisers… no doubt, some missions will favor just such a capability set. : )

I haven't really been following much beyond the forum posts, but it seems like (from the abilities) that bruisers are more tanks than DPS?

Certainly Judith and Fedir give that vibe from their abilities (extra armor/taunt and "stronger when hit," both of which require them to be able to take a hit).

So I'd more imagine the trio of bruisers running to the target, grabbing it, and running out before the enemy can whittle their health down to zero. Hopefully having bashed some nice, straight pathways through walls during the infiltration phase.
